As filed

A very light volume sale this week, with the bulk of the sales slaughter cows and slaughter steers and heifers, with a few bred cows and pairs and a light offering of feeders that were not tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower, with the most decline on the breaking and boning cows with lean cows mostly steady; also included were a few high dressing bulls out selling the slaughter steers and heifers.
